Colors

Our beloved hues of garnet and black are among the most recognizable of the Carolina
design elements.

Primary Colors

Garnet and black are the official colors of the University of South Carolina. The
colors in the secondary color palette are not to be used as primary colors. They may
be used secondarily as accents.

Do not use a secondary color in place of garnet.

Secondary Colors

Limit the number of secondary colors used in a single piece, so they do not overpower
any use of garnet and black. Avoid color combinations that could be associated with
other colleges and universities.
